A CELEBRATED CASE.
Sheriff Dawson Captures a
Desperate Fugitive from ! ]
BrazOs County,
Who Is Now in Dallas Jail.

Capt. ID. ID. Dawson, sheriff Of
Brazos county, is in the city en- route
home with Reuben Stillwoll, who has
been wanted badly in Brazos county
for six years.
The case will be remembered by
many readers as the "Porter brothers
murder" Stillwell was keeping a sa-
loon in Bryan and the killing occurred
in the saloon. The disagreement be
tween the parties was caused
by note which accused wrote a
sister OF deceased. This was
adjusted after which the Porters
were invited in to take a drink, where
they were shot dead either by Still
well or Lucien Reed, a young man in
dicted and held as his confederate.
Reed is out on bond. Stillwell es-
capped and made his way to louisiana
thence to Arkansas, Indian Territory,
Oregon and Idaho. The efficient sher-
III of Drazos county has promised
the people that Stillwell should be
captured. After keeping track of him
for years he redeemed his pledge by
taking him in on ranch near Silver
City, Idaho, few days ago. Stillwcll
is said to have been king hee with
the cowboys or Idaho. His reputa-
ton is not even confined to the limits
of Idaho, but throughout the
Northwest it had grown so
great that it misled tie officers and
they were hardly willing to believe
that he had ever been an Insignificant
bartender in Texas. Sheriff Hastings
made the arrest and found the ac-
cused Oh a ranch, as stated. The
latter asked for permission
to 90 into the cabin and
dress himself which the Sheriff
granted. The accused gathered n pis-
toll and commanded tho officer to
"hold up" but the Sheriff refused
and Stillwolps "gun" failed to pop.
After he was taken the prisoner was
very communicative and told ro-
mantle story of his meanderings since
the Bryan tragedy.

A Gard About Carlo.

was much surprised at the statement
which appeared in the Morning News, in
which Henry Hinckle, drunken, idle man
takes it upon himself to deny the statement
published that my Newfoundland dog, Car
10, savedMrs. Parrier from the swift waters
of the swollen Dallas branch. This man Hin
exile was not there, or near enough to know
anything about the matter. He is man
whom l, as policeman, arrested once for
abusive language, aud his false statement
was evidently prompted by an old grudge
against me. The ladies named by him as
having saved the woman, did not arrive at
the place till Frenchman and my little
girl had caught the woman when the dog
brought her to the edge of the bank.
Hinckel's statement entire is false without
any foundation whatever; and the News
should have Investigated his character be-
lore publishing it, j. W. MELEY.

cases will be heard by Judge Mccall, OF
Weatherford, on the 18th inst. Judge
Rainey was on hand to try the motion yes

Some Of the Zuliok organs are loud
in praise of the Fourteenth, because Of
the plausible financial exhibit Of the
expenses of the late legislative session; !;
but from the sa me standpoint would
it not have been a vast deal better for
the Territory had the "measly Four
teenthN not met at all?
1t is toe soon to descanto on the great
benefit that will lnure to ARIZONA by
the work of the late Legislature, since
the result cannot be measured until
the laws enacted are published; and
it is a notorious fact that some of the
code laws were passed without even
being read, aud a majority OF the bills
were acted upon without due consid-
Grafton, having bean read ever in
monotonous tone by the clerk, while
members We're wnhug, conversing on
engrossed with other matters, so that
few If any members had clear idea
of what they were voting upon when
called to cast their ballots,
Again the inadequate number Of
clerks made it impossible to keep a
journal of proceedings, and many
bills, after numerous corrections and
amendments, for the most part done
in pencil, were considered enrolled
and engrcssed, without actually going
through that necessary process, thus
inviting fraud BY allowing unlimited
opportunity to doctor the proceedings
by erasures and additions.
When the $40 code is printed and
the people are permitted to examine
it by obliging officials, who will re-
ceive copies gratis, a better idea Of the
work of the Fourteenth can be formed.
AT present the fuisome praise Of some
Of the newspapers is premature, to
say the leas& We fear that 1t will be
with the Fourteenth Legislative AS
semblv as Mark Antony truly said in
his eulogy over Crsar's body, @The
evil that men do lives after them; the
good is oft inferred with their bones.
